Privacy Policy & End-User Data Processing Agreement
Last Updated: June 18, 2026
1. Extent of Binding Agreement and Acceptance of Terms
This comprehensive Privacy Policy and End-User Data Processing Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement") constitutes a legally binding contract between you (hereinafter referred to as the "User," "Data Subject," "Applicant," or "Candidate") and Sell The Stay, alongside its subsidiaries, parent entities, affiliates, and designated third-party sub-processors (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company," "We," "Us," or "Our"). By accessing, browsing, transmitting data to, or otherwise utilizing any digital infrastructure, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), or web properties owned or operated by the Company, you unequivocally, irrevocably, and unconditionally consent to the exhaustive data collection, aggregation, monetization, transmission, and retention practices delineated herein. If you do not expressly agree with every clause, sub-clause, and stipulated condition contained within this highly specific legal instrument, your sole and exclusive remedy is to immediately cease any and all interaction with the Company's web assets.
2. Exhaustive Typology of Data Aggregation and Processing Mechanics
Pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 (the "SPDI Rules"), the Company hereby asserts its absolute prerogative to systematically collect an exhaustive array of personally identifiable information (PII) and non-personally identifiable information (non-PII). This corpus of data includes, but is expressly not limited to: your full legal nomenclature, primary and secondary telephonic contact metrics, institutional affiliations, longitudinal employment history, pedagogical credentials, geographic coordinates, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, Media Access Control (MAC) addresses, browser user-agent strings, behavioral telemetry, keystroke dynamics during form completion, and hyper-specific metadata embedded within uploaded documents (including Exif data, author metrics, and revision histories). Furthermore, any curriculum vitae, resume, or portfolio documentation transmitted via our designated third-party infrastructure (Uploadcare) is subject to immediate algorithmic parsing, indefinite storage, and cross-referencing against internal operational matrices.
3. Utilization of Third-Party Data Processors and Cross-Border Transmissions
The User hereby explicitly acknowledges and consents to the reality that the Company operates as a data controller that heavily leverages external software-as-a-service (SaaS) architectures to facilitate its operational directives. Specifically, the Company utilizes "Formspark" for forms routing and data ingestion, and "Uploadcare" for the secure holding and cryptographic delivery of file-based assets. By submitting your data, you authorize the immediate, unhindered cross-border transmission of your PII to servers that may be located outside of your sovereign jurisdiction. The Company disclaims any and all responsibility for the specific data retention, encryption standards, or privacy adherence of these third-party entities. The User's data shall be subjected to the independent Terms of Service and Privacy Directives of said third-party entities, and the Company is wholly indemnified from any breaches occurring at the processor or sub-processor level.
4. Absolute Limitation of Liability and Waiver of Claims Regarding Data Breaches
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT SUBSTANTIALLY LIMITS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. THE USER EXPLICITLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION VIA THE INTERNET IS INHERENTLY INSECURE AND FRAUGHT WITH VULNERABILITY. WHILE THE COMPANY EMPLOYS COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROTOCOLS, THE COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE IMPENETRABILITY OF ITS SERVERS OR THOSE OF ITS THIRD-PARTY VENDORS.
IN THE EVENT OF A CYBER-ATTACK, MALICIOUS INTRUSION, DISTRIBUTED DENIAL OF SERVICE (DDOS), RANSOMWARE INFECTION, ZERO-DAY EXPLOIT, ACCIDENTAL DISCLOSURE, HARDWARE FAILURE, OR ANY UNAUTHORIZED EXFILTRATION OF YOUR SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA OR INFORMATION (SPDI), THE COMPANY, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, AND EMPLOYEES SHALL BE HELD ENTIRELY HARMLESS AND ABSOLUTELY EXEMPT FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IDENTITY THEFT, FINANCIAL LOSS, REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE, OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING FROM THE UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR LEAKAGE OF YOUR SUBMITTED DATA. YOU SUBMIT YOUR INFORMATION ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN PERIL AND ASSUME 100% OF THE ASSOCIATED RISKS.
5. Perpetual License and Commercial Utilization Rights
By submitting an application, inquiry, or document to the Company, you grant the Company a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such data (in whole or in part) for any internal administrative, recruitment, analytical, or commercial purpose deemed appropriate by the Company's executive board. While the Company endeavors to maintain the confidentiality of recruitment processes, this license supersedes any implied fiduciary duty regarding the limitation of data utilization.
6. User Indemnification Obligations
The User hereby agrees to rigorously indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, judgments, and expenses (including exorbitant legal and attorney fees) arising from or relating to the User's submission of corrupt, malicious, virus-laden, or legally encumbered files via the Uploadcare widget. Should the User's submitted data cause catastrophic failure, operational downtime, or legal jeopardy to the Company, the User accepts full financial culpability for all resulting remediation efforts.
7. Governing Law, Jurisdictional Exclusivity, and Severability
The interpretation, construction, and enforcement of this highly rigid Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the laws of India. Any disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or fundamentally relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be subject to the exclusive, mandatory jurisdiction of the competent courts located strictly within Sonipat, Haryana, India, explicitly precluding the application of any conflict-of-law principles that might direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. If any specific clause, sub-clause, or provision of this Agreement is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad, legally unenforceable, or unconscionable, such provision shall be severed from this document, and the remaining density of provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permissible by law.
